Anonymous: actually, it would be "Yo soy muy estupida." The verb "estar" is used to indicate locations and temporary conditions, while the verb "ser" is used for permanent states, such as her stupidity. Of course, maybe she was just temporarily out of her right mind because she was high, in which case "estar" would be appropriate, but coming to school high in the first place would suggest long-term stupidity. So we're back to "ser."
